The U.S. Figure Skating Hall of Fame was established in 1976 to honor those who have made outstanding contributions to the sport of figure skating. Nominees may be emeritus, deceased or actively working. Those elected will need to receive a simple majority (51 percent) of the total number of votes cast by electors to the U.S. Hall of Fame.

Please nominate Johnny in “Category A – Outstanding Competitors.” Then choose “Men’s” as the discipline in which he competed. Selection to the Hall of Fame is based on a skater’s competitive career, but skaters cannot be nominated until they have been retired for five years. Johnny’s nomination is based on his pre-retirement career as a champion men’s singles skater.
